Can a (nearly) 60 year old story still be “revealed”?

In a generation where half of the Internet has no clue who Nancy Drew is or whose only knowledge of the Transformers is Beast Wars, certainly. And considering how liberally they’ve altered other classics that have been brought to screen in the past few years, who’s to say what a plot will ultimately be in relation to the original.
@CJSchmidt
The studio is NOT making a movie for each Narnia book, therefore, it’s likely that at some point, stories from the various books will be combined into one movie. And it doesn’t matter how long a book has been in print, one can’t assume that everyone has read the book, especially younger generations who are raised in front of TV screens. Also, LWW is THE classic book of this series, so it’s easy to assume that everyone knows that story, but PC is a sequel and definitely not as wide-read.
Either way, a little info can’t hurt.
